Downloading E443xB Signal Generator Files

Storage Locations for E443xB ARB files

Place waveforms in either volatile memory or non- volatile memory. The signal generator supports the E443xB directory structure for waveform file downloads (i.e. “ARBI:”, “ARBQ:”, “NVARBI:”, and “NVARBQ:”, see also “SCPI Commands” on page 231).

•/user/arbi/

•/user/arbq/

Non-Volatile Memory Storage Locations

•/user/nvarbi/

•/user/nvarbq/

Loading files into the above directories (volatile or non- volatile memory) does not actually store them in those directories. Instead, these directories function as “pipes” to the format translator. The signal generator performs the following functions on the E443xB data:

•Converts the 14- bit I and Q data into 16- bit data (the format required by the signal generator). Subtract 8192, left shifts the data, and appends two bits (zeros) before the least significant bit (i.e. the offset binary values are converted to 2’s complement values by the signal generator).
